Pope Leo's views on immigration should be completely non-controversial. He says he is against open borders. Countries have a right to decide who enters. Mass immigration is a problem to be solved. People should stay in their own countries. But that if people do come, they should be treated like human beings with dignity. He also says if they come, they should learn the language and respect the laws. But because people's brains are broken by American politics they cannot understand this nuance.

Last month, solar power generated 12.8% of electricity in the U.S. while coal was responsible for 12.2%. It’s the first time in history that solar accounted for more energy than coal. 🔋 abcnews.com/US/solar-generat…

Boy we lost one of the greatest leaders to come out of the Youngstown area. Carl was a visionary and fighter for American Veterans. I was proud to help get the Y-town VA clinic named after him. What a life and inspiration. RIP my friend. U are a classic. wfmj.com/news/local-news/boa…

Love this.

This is exactly where Bernie loses me. Government ownership of companies is Socialism/Communism. Hard no! nytimes.com/2026/06/11/opini… via @NYTOpinion

These are exactly the kinds of things companies like @Meta need to do… and more. @NABTU and their affiliates can play a huge role in building these facilities, capturing and recycling rain water so we are not drawing , using renewables and natural gas to power them, engaging local schools and hospitals etc. We need to win the AI race so China doesn’t, but it needs to be done in a responsible, humane way that lifts up people and protects nature.

Virginia doesn't have to choose between economic growth & lower emissions.   Pairing natural gas with renewables is a pragmatic approach that can expand cleaner energy, strengthen the grid, create jobs & keep power affordable for Virginians.   Read my latest in @washingtonpost ⬇️

We went from “Ask not” to “F U” in America. Check out my new Substack on how JFK’s death began a a national contagion of fear, anger and distrust that we are still living with. open.substack.com/pub/spirit…

As energy affordability continues to top voters' concerns, @GovKathyHochul's recent move toward an all-of-the-above energy strategy reflects what our polling has consistently found: voters want reliable, affordable energy and support expanding natural gas infrastructure to deliver it.

"Democrats don't have to choose between environmental progress and economic reality. We can lead on both fronts." Those words from our Co-Chair @TimRyan last summer are resonating more than ever. We hope others follow @GovKathyHochul’s lead.

The assassination of President Kennedy—arguably one of America’s most charismatic, visionary political and spiritual leaders—unleashed a powerful, fear-based contagion that we are still dealing with today. open.substack.com/pub/spirit…

The Reading Room Comes to Washington, DC — June 9–12, 2026 trumpsonian.us/rr

9 of our member operators – @Williams, @EQTCorp, @Enbridge, @TCEnergy, NJ Resources, Boardwalk Pipelines, @natfuelgas, @SouthernCoGas & @DominionEnergy – as part of @OneFutureEnergy, are leading progress in reducing methane emissions, lowering methane intensity by 15.4% in 2024.

Roger Federer dropped some real wisdom in his Dartmouth commencement speech: He won nearly 80% of his 1,526 professional matches, but only 54% of the points he played. Even one of the greatest tennis players of all time lost almost half his points. His lesson: Don’t dwell on every mistake. A double fault, a lost point, even a bad day, it’s just one point. The champions move on quickly with the same focus and fire for the next one. This is one of the best mindset lessons I’ve heard in a long time. It applies way beyond tennis. Life is full of losses and setbacks. The difference between average and exceptional is how quickly you reset and keep playing.

Two of my favorite Ryan’s!!!

Love this grassroots rebuild happening with the Youngstown Dem party. Great job @cjanderson1988 keep it rolling.

Perhaps the most critical back-to-school purchase of the early 80s.

New statement from Scott Pelley:   There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.   The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.   “60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.   The waste is heartbreaking.   Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.   For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.   At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.   I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.   Scott Pelley
